Fantastic experience! The observatory is easy to get around, and the staff were welcoming and helpful. The highlight, of course, was the breathtaking view - absolutely worth the visit. We were even lucky enough to see Mount Fuji in the distance.

A superb excursion! It was a great time from start to finish. Betty, our guide, was wonderful: passionate, attentive and always smiling. The driver was also top-notch, very helpful and caring throughout the day. We felt really well looked after, in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. I'd recommend this excursion 1000 times over - you can go with your eyes closed! Thanks again to the whole team 😊

Was a great day. Weather was kind to us so we got a great view of Mt Fuji. Kazu was a great guide. He was very organised, attentive to everyone’s needs and kept everyone on time, in the right locations and up to date with the itinerary and instructions. The trip included all stops exactly as described and just enough time to see without lingering. If you only have a day, this tour fits a lot in given the distances you need to cover. Don't forget to take something warm. Was only 10 degrees at Mt Fuji and also cold and windy at the Ropeway and boat rides.
